4. Industry Information

information should start with finding standard classification codes

while NAICS is the current standard, many databases still or only use
SIC. Industry overviews could be found in Economic Census, Hoovers Online,
or Business Source Premier. Rankings, market research, market share,
and current trends are to be found by a database searching on newspaper
or trade magazine articles.

is the new standard code system to describe business establishments

industry. Correspondance table for SIC codes and NAICS codes also available.
Use both codes to search industry specific information in the electronic
resources.
